With Suicidal Intent.

Miss Mary L. Saddler, daughter
of Mr.. James Saddler, of this county,
went to Madlsonville last Monday ex-
pecting to meet and marry young
railroad man, who had set the time
and place Of meeting. On arriving
she failed 10 find the man on whom
she had bestowed her affections, but
instead received telegram request
ing her to return TO Hopkinsville and
he would there join her and that
they would then marry. She COM
piled by returning only to find dis
appointment again staring her in the
face. On the following day she went
into Mr.. j. G.. Hord's store and while
telling Of her troubles became sud-
denly very sick. Constable Wiley,
who was present discovered pack
age in her hand, and upon invcstiga-
tion found that IL contained vial of
laudanum, about half of which had
been used. She claimed to have
purchased IL in jacksonville, and II
bore the label Of jacksonville drug
glst. II was evident that she had
taken an overdose. She was quite
sick during the balance of the day,
but has about recovered. On being
questioned by her uncle, who ar
rived In the afternoon whether or
not she had taken the poison aud IL
so, for what purpose?' She replied,
81 did, and expected to have been
dead before now"
Miss Saddler is lady of much
beauty and excellent character and
her attempt to take her own life has
not only been severe shock TO her
relatives, but to the whole commu-
nifty in which she lives.

He Had catarrh.

HAMPTON STA, Tenn, Feb. 26, 81
Gentlemen-I have had cstarrh foi
over three years. For three years
had pains over my eyes. / often
could not sleep, not being able ia
breathe through my nose. / was not
able to smell anything for three
years. In this sad plight, last spring,
I began taking S. S. S. / took one
dozen bottles. The pains left my
forhead, my smelling faculty returned
and l could sleep soundly. This is
the happy result of your medicine.
1 have felt no symptoms of the re-
turn of the disease until the very
wet and cold season set in, and even
then, was so much better than /
had been for three years, that l felt
like different man. | am going to
take a few bottles this spring, so as
to completely eradicate every rem
nant of the disease. My general
health is greatly improved since be-
gan taking your medicine, and my
disordered Kidneys restored to their
normal functions. My digestion ia
now first.class, and / can eat any
thing l wish, whereas before took
S. S. S., such was not the case.
Yours truly,
j. b. ALLEN.
